The HTTP/2 tests brought with commit bf05606ef1 were using the internal
name 'http2' for the HTTP/2 server, while in fact that name was already
used for the second instance of the HTTP server. This made tests using
the second instance (like test 2050) fail after a HTTP/2 test had run.
The server is now known as HTTP/2 internally and within the <server>
section in test cases. 1700, 1701 and 1702 were updated accordingly.
It requires that 'nghttpx' is in the PATH, and it will run the tests
using nghttpx as a front-end proxy in front of the standard HTTP/1 test
server. This uses HTTP/2 over plain TCP.
If you like me have nghttpx installed in a custom path, you can run test 1700
like this:
$ PATH=$PATH:$HOME/build-nghttp2/bin/ ./runtests.pl 1700
The variable `$ipvnum` can now contain "unix" besides the integers 4
and 6 since the variable. Functions which receive this parameter
have their `$port` parameter renamed to `$port_or_path` to support a
path to the UNIX domain socket (as a "port" is only meaningful for TCP).

Introducing a number of options to the multi interface that
allows for multiple pipelines to the same host, in order to
optimize the balance between the penalty for opening new
connections and the potential pipelining latency.
Two new options for limiting the number of connections:
CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS - Limits the number of running connections
to the same host. When adding a handle that exceeds this limit,
that handle will be put in a pending state until another handle is
finished, so we can reuse the connection.
CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS - Limits the number of connections in total.
When adding a handle that exceeds this limit,
that handle will be put in a pending state until another handle is
finished. The free connection will then be reused, if possible, or
closed if the pending handle can't reuse it.
Several new options for pipelining:
CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH - Limits the pipeling length. If a
pipeline is "full" when a connection is to be reused, a new connection
will be opened if the CURLMOPT_MAX_xxx_CONNECTIONS limits allow it.
If not, the handle will be put in a pending state until a connection is
ready (either free or a pipe got shorter).
CURLMOPT_CONTENT_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE - A pipelined connection will not
be reused if it is currently processing a transfer with a content
length that is larger than this.
CURLMOPT_CHUNK_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE - A pipelined connection will not
be reused if it is currently processing a chunk larger than this.
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SITE_BL - A blacklist of hosts that don't allow
pipelining.
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SERVER_BL - A blacklist of server types that don't allow
pipelining.
See the curl_multi_setopt() man page for details.
Introduced in the initial gopher commits, there was added logic to do
GOPHER test serving in the pingpong server but as it resembles HTTP much
more than FTP or SMTP, the gopher testing has been moved over to instead
use the sws (HTTP) server. This change simply removes unused code.
